Paris deconstructed: Mary Magdalene in Paris
http://paris-deconstructed.blogspot.com/2006/05/mary-magdalene-in-paris.html
Monday, May 08, 2006. Mary Magdalene in Paris. May 19 the film “The DaVinci Code” will be released worldwide to church controversy. Many will boycott the film, because it goes against traditional church teaching about Jesus’ relationship with Mary Magdalene. (Since when do books and movies have to be based in fact? Well, but when you’re talking about the marriage status of Jesus, the figurehead of one of the world’s great religions . . .). I had my own Paris adventure with Mary Magdalene in 2004. But bec...

Saturday, January 27, 2007. Art Nouveau metro stations. There is no shortage of information and photos of these remnants from 1900 in the city. Designed by Hector Guimard. There are 88 of them left in Paris. These three views are of the metro station "St Michel" on the #4 line, at the corner of Blvd St Michel and the Quai de Montebello, across the street from the Seine. You can see one of the roof features of Hotel de Ville (City Hall) in the top photo, across the Seine. This nice site.

Paris deconstructed: December 2006
http://paris-deconstructed.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 09, 2006. The first Austerlitz bridge across the Seine was built of iron and commemorated in 1805 for Napolean's victory at Austerlitz. One of his greatest victories, also known as the Battle of the Three Emporers). But this arch bridge was deterioriating 50 years later and was re-engineered out of masonry by Jean-Marie-Georges Choquet, Guiard, Zoroastre-Alexandre Michal and Jules Savarin in 1854. It is 174 meters long and 30 meters wide. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Other places of mine.

http://paris-deconstructed.blogspot.com/2009/07/mrs-schott-part-ii.html
Saturday, July 18, 2009. Mrs Schott - Part II. Lying in the dark in the hotel room I waited for. To finish her conversation on the phone with Mrs. Schott, the woman whose voice sounded mature and strong when I answered. As they talked I imagined her – a stately, “older” woman who sees. From the upper floors of five star hotel rooms. Hung up and told me what Mrs. Schott told her had transpired since she had delivered. 8217;s abandoned passport to the hotel concierge. (See last post.). Next morning en route.

It became evident that I needed to revisit this space. I had run out of digital photos to post, but I still have unposted film images, so let's see how far I can get from two visits captured on film. In 2003 Don posed on the. Pont de la Tournelle. Above, with the Notre Dame sitting atop. Ile de la Cité,. The island&#...
